Normally i wouldn't even comment on a show such as this, but that last comment is frankly so ridiculous i had to say something.
This 'show' is nothing but a pure scam, the answers to the questions are almost random. I have never seen anyone win so called 'puzzles' such as "add the pence" where they show a variety of coins and ask you to "add the pence", but the answer is never the sum of the coins.
There are other more simple puzzles such as word searches, but the real money makers are the ones like "add the pence", they literally drag these so called puzzles out for hours and i imagine they get lots of calls. There are other similar puzzles, for example, the question may be "how many dogs", and the 'puzzle' contains a stupid story such as "2 dogs were having a doggy party, one of the dogs invited 22 other dogs that each brought a friend..." and so on. Again the answer is not the sum of the number of dogs, it is far more obscure than that.
I have never watched these so called "puzzles" until the end, so i never find out the answers. I have seen the answer to one similar puzzle, and i have no idea how they arrived at that answer. It seems to me there is no skill involved in solving these "puzzles" at all, because the puzzles seem similar but the answers are not, this leads me to believe the answers are dubious at best.
Personally I can't stand these shows, i think the people that phone in on them are frankly, stupid gullible people. The show gives you a daily limit of 150 calls (as far as i know) and at 75p a pop it could give you a hefty phone bill at the end of the month. The chances of getting through are thought to be around 8000 to 1, and the chances of actually winning are a lot slimmer. These shows are no better than the many scam emails and schemes that take peoples money every day. They should be taken off the air immediately.
SCAM!
